wait.. so i have to wait a freakn year to see the dumbest show on tv, which i love?!?!
FreeRange @ Apr 2nd 2008 7:51PM
Or get DirecTV. Which one sounds more reasonable?
matt @ Apr 3rd 2008 2:30AM
or do what everyone else does or will do that likes the show. download it before hand.
what a dumb idea though. nbc will have lower ratings for real fans of the show cause they'll probably watch it by other means (torrents or otherwise) when it comes out on direct TV.... I think.
whahaa's post has a good point too. he might be right considering I don't think there's that many people that are hardcore fans of this show. Either way its an experiment that NBC clearly is doing on a show they feel is worth doing it with (due to low ratings to begin with). I don't know how clear the outcome will be cause of that (it not being that popular or good a show) cause you run the risk of some hardcore fans simply downloading the episodes and then if the audience doesn't expand in January you'll have somewhat lower ratings than the season before. Also unlike say Hero's the show doesn't exactly have the fan base that would keep up on the internet buzz, or has dedicated forums discussing episodes.

daaper @ Apr 3rd 2008 1:08PM
haha, are you serious? You really buy into that cable-provider propaganda? Wow, I didn't realize there were still people that fell for it...
DeadPixel @ Apr 3rd 2008 1:32PM
its not propaganda where i am, 3 of my neighbors have dtv and dish. ive seen it go out when its cloudy and raining. plus ive read about some of the customer service things like over and double billing.

weird, I've had both cable and sat. The cable went out many more times than the sat ever has. In fact, I've never had my sat go out.
